Keith Rendleman has been steady all season for UNCW and last week played his best two conference games of the season back-to-back. The CAA office noticed, naming Rendleman and William & Mary’s Marcus Thornton as co-Players of the Week.

Rendleman had an average efficiency rating of 33 in the two games, which UNCW split. He recorded his 15th and 16th double doubles of the season and pulled within five rebounds of setting the school’s career record. Rendleman hit 17 of 25 field goals (68 percent), and his inspired play late helped the Seahawks upset first-place Northeastern.

Congratulations to Keith for the Player of the Week award and also for pulling down his 1,000th rebound. Keith does so many things well, but the thing that really stands out to me is the effort that he brings for 40 minutes every night.
